The Electricians of Penzance, UK

Penzance, United Kingdom, is famous for many things, for example the English expression “From Orkney to Penzance” - for being located in the southernmost area of England. Another one is the opera “The Pirates of Penzance”, the title of which does not really correspond to this town’s peaceful character. Have a look at this picture of cable layers from the 1920s, posted by HistoGrafica user vingoe. The area where the picture was taken is called Causeway Head and is nowadays a pedestrian precinct with a wide selection of shops.
